Quercus Biosolutions co-founders Dr. Jonathan Lightner and Matt Crisp are adapting AI-driven protein design – originally used in human medicine – to develop biological crop protection products. They believe their tech could achieve more in biological crop protection in the next two years than the segment has achieved in the last 20 - delivering efficacy levels growers and farmers normally associate with chemical crop inputs, without the environmental trade-offs. #agtech #agritech #agriculture #biomanufacturing #biologicals #cropprotection #bttechnologies #AIproteindesign #proteindesign #miniproteins #climate #sustainability #funding

💧 Sugarcane crops rely heavily water and fertilizer. ➡️ Runoff from nitrogen fertilizer has significant environmental and ecological consequences. ➡️ While drought and pest pressure increases, sugarcane as a crop has remained largely unchanged for 15 years. ➡️ Bringing a new sugarcane variety (that thrives with less water and synthetic fertilizers) to market might typically take 12+ years. AI-powered Avalo, Inc, reckons it could get there in less than half the time ➡️ future proofing the cane-growing industry for farmers and producers ➡️ preventing further damage to critically endangered ecosystems like Australia's Great Barrier Reef. #agtech #agritech #climate #sustainability #sugarcane #canefarming #deeptech #plantbreeding #plantgenetics #startups #funding
